Mr. Big Food changed up the recipe a bit and did them in a small slow cooker for a couple of hours. Delicious! Basic Fennel Dressing recipe below. “This dish is so simple it is absurd! Everyone will think you are a genius.”—The Frugal Gourmet by Jeff Smith (1984) “These make a great appetizer, a
This is great for Marica Cooks Wednesday. Fits my schedule perfectly. Plus, I love Hungarian food, even this which doesn’t sound particularly Hungarian except for the paprika. I doubled the garlic.

As our ancestors left Moravia and Bohemia, sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, they brought recipes with them. These same recipes have been handed down through generations.

First, your husband starts Authentic Czech Pork Roast in the slower cooker. He then spends the better part of the afternoon in the kitchen making the Yeast Dumplings and commenting on the fact that he’s never made yeast dumplings that are boiled, not steamed, before.

Originally published January 24, 2016. Daughter C asked for some slow cooker recipes. Here are a few links to recipes here on the blog. Unless otherwise noted, all have photos. Note that many of the recipes are migrants from the old blogger host and so look a bit weird (but it’s the recipes that matter).
Chuck Roast and Vegetables in Slow Cooker Just as we have coke/Coke, kleenex/Kleenex and bush hog/Bush Hog, so, too, we have crock pot/Crock-Pot. According to that infallible source, Wikipedia, the slow cooker was first introduced by Naxon Utilities Corporation of Chicago as the Naxon Beanery All-Purpose Cooker. “The Rival Company bought Naxon in 1970 and
Three (3) crockpots in one! Unfortunately, it’s not ours. (But it’s cool!) It belongs to Rhonda who blogs at Make, Do, and Mend.

Lunch After a good night’s sleep, Mr. Big Food announced he agreed with me and cast his vote in the Fall/Winter Soup Contest for Slow Cooker Potato Cheese Soup with Wieners. It was a difficult decision. Corn and Sausage Chowder is a very very good Fall/Winter Soup (recipe at the link). ~~ Posts on soup

Of all of the pictures I took of them, I liked this posed photo the best. Mr. Big Food (L); Mr. Kant (R) The only missing element was Rocky. UPDATE: A few more photos below the fold The task Starting to pile up Starting to smell like one Big cedar closet! How to dull a
It is so cool to be me. I am a judge in a Fall/Winter Soup Contest. Mr. Big Food tells me there will be a lot of entries. I am excited. There’s talk of a greens & homemade sausage soup. I’ve had this before. It’s not bad. Here is some more discussion about the soup’s
Slow Cooker Potato Cheese Soup with Wieners We each get a vote. (We are making up the rules to this contest as we go along.) The vote is 2-0 in favor of this potato soup. Not that we didn’t like the previous winner (having been the first contestant), Beer Cheese Broccoli Soup, but we both
Very good. Not at all what I expected. I imagined that it would be more like a thick potato soup. It was filling, and very flavorful– as in there were a lot of flavors all mulled together. I’ve asked for the recipe. I’ll post it as soon as he sends it to me. I just
